WHOO! i got the calipers off. Lol i used a butter knife stuck it inbetween the pistion and brake pad and pryed lol. the piston went back in a little bit then i stuck a flat headed screw driver for a more sturdy pry.. Then i wiggled the caliper off. It was harder to take off the bracket that holds the brake pads. those bolts were tough! But all is good new brake pads and rotors for the front .. brakes work good so i dont think i messed anythign up ! !! thanks for all the help everyone! this forum is gr8! thank you

 

It's okay, but you need to familiarize yourself with rule number one.

If it doesn't work, get a bigger ****ing hammer.

A BFH is the #1 tool for everything.

 

Whoa whoa whoa! hold on a minute... I thought duct tape has been labled the #1 tool.... HAHA jk jk

 

No,the Duct tape is #2 it is used to hold everthing back together after you beat the $hit out of it with the BFH,tool #1

 

bailing twine is 3rd. duck tape help my buddy's swing bar closed for his spare on his ford for 2 years when we had a flat.

 

#1. BFH
Tied for #2 - Duct tape to hold the s*** that moves but shouldn't and wd-40 for the s*** that doesn't move but should.
